This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome my good friends, Joan and Jim Sloan, of CouplesTravel.  I wrote about Joan and Jim in my first cruising book, The Joy of Cruising amzn.to/2EAMddF in a section called “Cuba Cruising” which featured three very different couples sharing their perspectives on a cruise to Cuba. The Sloan's feature was called, Joan and Jim: Cuba and Jazz, detailing the first music charter cruise to Cuba. In February 2017 they ventured to Cuba on The Soul Cruise, a unique seven-day R&B-themed cruise branded as “The first ever soul music cruise from the United States to Cuba!” The cruise was on Fathom Adonia (now Azamara Pursuit). Cheryl and I have traveled a little with Joan and Jim—we spent time with them on a couple of trips to New Orleans for the annual Essence Music Festival. However, their travel often takes them on international journeys—cruises and land trips to exotic destinations still on my bucket list, like Africa and Switzerland. Joan and Jim have just returned from Egypt, and I can't wait to hear all the wonderful details. Hear why I refer to them as my "travel mentors."Welcome Joan and Jim to The Joy of Cruising Podcast.”Support the show
